Helping a friend.
The laptop screen on Lenovo Yoga 510 goes blank randomly. The light by the power socket and the light by the power switch remain lit. Battery at about 80% charge. The machine does not respond to the keyboard in this state. I can restart the machine by holding in the power switch for a number of seconds. I have tried to hear the fans and they appear to be on but not blasting away. Laptop keyboard and base don't feel hot to the touch. I have uninstalled Classic shell. I have run several benchmarks such as Prime95, Cinebench, Heaven to try to load the CPU and cause the temperature to rise. I can't cause the machine to crash when I am running the benchmarks to try to stress the machine CPU.
I was thinking this was some kind of power supply/power delivery/ overheating/ cooling failure problem.
I have decided to perform a clean install of Windows 10, and reinstall the benchmark/stress test software, then try to recreate the problem. Problem is there seems to be no pattern to the crash I can discern so far. I can use the machine as my daily machine for about a week so I can see if the crash happens again after a clean install and try to discern a pattern.
Do the symptoms suggest a problem or is Lenovo laptops known for this? I might just sell the machine for parts if it is not possible to diagnose the problem.
